NASA Black Hole Visualization Takes Viewers Beyond the Brink<br /><br />In this flight toward a supermassive black hole, labels highlight many of the fascinating features produced by the effects of general relativity along the way. This supercomputer visualization tracks a camera as it approaches, briefly orbits, and then crosses the event horizon — the point of no return — of a supersized black hole similar in mass to the one at the center of our galaxy.<br /><br />Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/J.
